Check out
this robocall that the Hastert campaign distributed last night in the 14th. This was left on the voicemail of someone in Geneva.
I guess we should have known that this was all Clinton and Pelosi's fault. But I'm confused: didn't Hastert say in his press conference today that "the buck stops here" and that he was "taking responsibility"? I guess perhaps I got it wrong: he's taking responsibility for passing the buck is more likely what he said. And you gotta love in the same breath laying this at the feet of Democrats being soft of terror, and not letting the Republicans pass more tax cuts to make our economy even stronger.
Incredible.

Last night the Washington-based dem front group called American family voices phoned residents in our communities to spread falsehoods about our congressman Denny Hastert.

The purpose is to elect Nancy Pelosi as speaker and Hillary Clinton as president and they will resort to anything to accomplish it. We know that Denny Hastert is a public servant who has spent his life working for families - whether as a teacher coach or congressman.
